Disturbing as all hell, and I loved it. I've never been in a band, but the opening pages make me nostalgic for it anyway. "Then, right on cue, threw his fist in the air and for the first time in ten years summoned the dead to rise." 💗
I continually wanted to hit Caspian with a brick, and am 100% in love with Cassie and little Rox. A couple more favorite quotes: "Ever lie in bed at night and think back upon a childhood memory and it's like you return to that place in time? And it's sweet for a moment. Because you remember you were once sweet and innocent. And then you realize you have entered the body of a ghost. A version of you that no longer exists and never will again. And you wonder if you got from that precious time what you were meant to." ((Mr. Kirk are you ridiculously proud of those lines because you should be)) "There was a first person to strum a guitar and there will be a last. A first eye to open and a final one to close. Melody in between." Notes I took while reading: -- "What'd you think?" I shrugged. "Felt bad for that girl. Pretty grim little read." "Yours had a girl?" Me- o____O -- I am 20 pages in, freaked the hell out, and in love with this concept -- "I opened the door and got out, never once seeing the little button on the steering wheel containing a camera. Just like the one now watching you." OH HELL NO -- *trying to figure out what the chapter title runes mean* -- Man, this is going *hard* for still being so early in the book -- "Letters are true but the name is a lie"... Lamia? -- ilu Al and considering everything that makes me worry -- oh jesus 167-168 i have no words -- "Am I ready to see this? Are you?" NO I AM NOT. ...... *reads anyway* -- "She bit two of them, gouged out an eye, and ripped off half an ear." CASSIE YOU GODDESS Oh look, a key at the end for the runes!! Me, translating: WITH EVERY WORD YOU RMIND-- hey did I miss an E? Hm. No. --OPENS Ohhh, WITH EVERY WORD YOUR MIND OPENS well crap goodbye world

A WORLD WITH A BLUER SUNMy reviews are set up a little like live-tweets: I write down lines I like/impressions as I read, and then transcribe. Reviews will contain spoilers, but I'll give a warning before they start. Archives
